A Smaller Army?

Pundit Walter Lippmann, who for two years
has hammered home the assertion that Adolf Hitler is a fearfully real
danger to the U.S., last week came out with a new proposal: to cut down
the U.S. Army. He wrote:

"The consequences which are almost certain to flow from the new orders
[to clean out German raiders] given to the Navy are immensely
importantso important, I venture to suggest, that we can seriously
ask ourselves if it may not now be justifiable and actually desirable
to reduce the size of the American Army.
